A little article on hindi and its popularity

With over 500 million speakers, Hindi is the second-most spoken language after Chinese.
As per a 1991 census report, Hindi was proclaimed by over 77 % of the Indian population as the "one language across the nation".

The Hindi language consists of 11 vowels and 35 consonants and is written in Devanagari script. Hindi is equipped with a rich consonant system, with about 38 distinct consonant units of sounds. However, the number of phonemes, as these units of sound are called, cannot be accurately determined, owing to the large number of dialects that exist, which employ many derivative forms of the consonant repertoire. However, the traditional core of the consonant system is directly inherited from Sanskrit with an additional seven sounds conjectured to have originated from Persian and Arabic.

Hindi, the official language of India, is based on the Khariboli dialect of the Delhi region. A more scholarly, Sankritized form of Hindi was believed to have developed primarily in Varanasi, the Hindu holy city and is believed to have been based on the Eastern Hindi dialect of that region. The term "Hindi" can thus be an ambiguous term at times.

However, despite its leading status as the second-most spoken language in the world. Hindi is not employed at concurrent levels over the Internet and in basic home computing utilities. But, emphasis in this regard has returned with an increased vigour in recent times. With the proper guidance, support and governance, Hindi may soon ascend to become a true language of the world in every respect.
